Uneasy that the path to #genderdesegregation in #highereducation is #nudge young people from “weak” fields (humanities) to “strong” (medicine, law) fields by counsellors stressing earning differences; counsellors must be literature in more than rational choice ideologies.

@DrChrisGrocott I don’t have an account on that platform to “clap” your piece, but that was some lovely reading, thank you for publishing your reflections.
Reminds me of the time you and Jo screened Brassed Off for us in KE501! What a marvellous shared screening experience that was.

[Matthew Allen @DrMattAllen]

@DrJoGrady Oh my, Jo, what a cutie! If you fancy a dog walk tougher, I live with this guy.

@helloiammariam I’m so sorry you had to suffer this. I don’t know you, or where you are, but the world is a better place because you are

@NeilChakraborti says "as a sector we shy away from honest and open diaglogue about race issues", I agree. Let us know now when to dialogue, when to listen, when to act to bring about #racialequity in #HigherEducation and broader society.
